Chapter 14 — On a 5-day business trip, I called the police to kick my husband's entire family out of the house

"Fifth, the consumer loan of 300,000 yuan is in the defendant's name, through verification it is not related to the plaintiff, belongs to the defendant's personal spending behavior, for which the defendant is solely responsible."

"Sixth, the defendant had the act of living with another person during the marriage period."

“The plaintiff has the right to claim compensation for mental damages.”

“Judgment that the defendant compensate the plaintiff 50,000 yuan.”

When Tu Manh gave me the verdict, she burst into laughter.

“Neat and clean.”

I looked down at the last line of the verdict.

“This judgment takes effect fifteen days from the date of service.”

“Will he appeal?”

“Most likely not.”

Tu Manh took a sip of water and smiled faintly.

“The evidence is too strong.”

“If there is an appeal, most of the decisions will still be upheld.”

“Vuong Duc Thuan will not waste time on a case that cannot be resolved.”

I folded up the verdict and put it in my pocket. When I walked out of the court, the sun was very beautiful. In mid-October, Cam Thanh finally cooled down. The air has begun to smell of autumn. I tilted my head to look at her.

“I invite you to eat a meal.”

“Of course.”

She laughed.

“If I help you fight such a big battle, should I at least get a meal of five hundred yuan per person?”

"Thousand."

That meal, we talked a lot. It's not just about the lawsuit. But also about the past three years — the things I missed, ignored, tricked myself into.

“Actually, you already have the feeling, right?”

Tu Manh picked up a piece of sashimi.

“That he's not okay.”

I smiled softly.

“But every time the sign appeared, he immediately resolved it.”

“He's so good at building that 'it's okay' type of image.”

“Not too thoughtful but not bad either.”

“Not too forward-thinking, but not exactly dragging others' feet either.”

“The type of person that makes you unable to find a clear enough reason to be dissatisfied.”

“The gray area is what wears people down the most.”

I put the glass down.

“It won't be like that anymore.”

After the meal, I went home. I cleaned up all traces belonging to Chu Hao Nam. His clothes — which I had already packed and stuffed into storage — were all thrown into the recycling bin downstairs. Razor. Slippers. Don't keep anything back. Chu My Ky's belongings were in the side room. I had previously asked the management to move them all to Chu's parents' house. After finishing cleaning, I stood in the middle of the clean living room, slowly looking around. One hundred and twenty square meters. Three bedrooms, one living room. Large balcony facing south. From now on... I'm the only one living here. The first month after the divorce, I put all my energy into work. The Thien Ty Hoa Vien project is progressing smoothly. The partners are extremely satisfied with the accurate plan. Contract is signed. The first payment has also arrived. General Manager Trieu's trust in me clearly increased by one level. One afternoon, she called me into her office.

“Van Tinh.”

“How long have you been in Due Hang?”

“Three and a half years.”

“Due Hang is preparing to open a new business next year.”

“Designing high-end housing on request.”

“I already discussed it with the principal.”

“I want you to lead this department.”

I sat up straight.

“Leading the department…”

“What level is it?”

“Design director.”

“Report directly to the director.”

“The team she built herself.”

“Your startup budget is 2,000,000 yuan.”

Director design director. At Due Hang, this is the highest technical position below the senior partner level.

“General Zhao, I…”

“Don't rush to answer.”

She waved her hand.

“I recognize your ability.”

“The way you handled the Thien Ty Hoa Vien case…”

“Just stole the project back and found the source of the leak.”

“Honestly…”

“Exceeded my expectations.”

“Thank you for your recognition.”

I gently took a breath.

“Let me think some more.”

“I give you three days.”

After leaving the office, a very strange feeling appeared in my heart. Three years ago, when I married Chu Hao Nam... I was just an ordinary designer. Monthly salary 15,000 yuan. At that time he once said:

“It's not worth staying alone in such a big house.”

I think it makes sense. He also said:

“Two people living together is definitely better than one.”

I also find it reasonable. I used to think that marriage was a partnership. The opponent is not here to cooperate. He came to parasitize. And the most ironic thing is... After kicking that parasite out of my life, in just one month... My career has progressed further than the previous three years combined. Three days later, I took office.
